That rule was gone already with the Armstrong years.
Some riders started calling him Pogacarmstrong already in 2021

Armstrong didn't want to take some wins because he didn't want to draw negative attention on himself or his team, given their proclivity for some "pick me up help".

This is one of the most insecure things I have seen in some time. Is Pog really going for a 4th stage and the KOM jersey when he's about lock up his 3rd TdF? This is like Novak Djokovic obsessively trying to win some ATP 500 event.
If Carapaz doesn't crack tomorrow and goes into the break, he'll have the KOM jersey in the bag. Pog did not go for the 8 points on Bonette.

Commentator just said the Almeida-Landa battle was to see who is the best Spaniard in the race.

we attack riders when they win a GT without a stage win or just a TT. We attack someone for winning too many stages lol
